Toni Morrison's The Most Important Quotes From Things Fall Apart

Decent Essays
Quote: “No matter the era or the world, the strong will always grind their teeth while the weak experience wisdom!” - Page 138 Volume 1 ~ Sora.
1. This quote focuses on ‘Character’, so the reason why I chose this quote because the main character focuses on his wisdom throughout the whole story. There are 16 races and his race is the only race that can’t use magic. So Sora uses his old techniques he used in online games from his world in this new world. Sora who was a NEET (Not in
Education and Employment or Training) learns how to use his wordplay and actions in a total different context, for example when Steph and Sora were making the deal, he said he needed a place to stay and used a smile to confirm it rather than saying yes; This means that he never did really confirm it, so after the match since all rules are bound

He says this since someone ‘in love’ would give a place to stay and listen to other commands for free. He also learns how to read people’s faces, for example in the
Inn, the man trying to lie about the amount of days Sora can stay there totally failed since Sora read him like a book.
2. The quote was said by Sora (the protagonist) while he was making his speech for the people after becoming king. I’d think that he was wondering if this would convince the rest of the kingdom that they still had a fighting chance after losing all their land, he was also saying many other inspiring things to back up his quote. Judging by how boastful he acted most of the time, he probably thinking about how awesome he was, convincing a whole nation.
3. Before Sora said this quote, he was firing everyone up with questions. For example he was asking the citizens "Previously, when the Old Deus started a war, deities, magical beings—the elves, orcs and other species that were also involved, we fought

    The novel Grendel by John Gardner depicts a fundamentally distinctive picture of Grendel than the epic lyric Beowulf paints. Grendel is a non-person who gangs human qualities. In either story it is most certainly not determined what sort of being Grendel is, nor does it recount what precisely Grendel resembles. The main thought the peruser has of seeing Grendel is the little indications either creator gives. We know he remains on two feet as people do, we know he is secured in hair, and we know he is tremendous.…

    This implies that true love has no fear or interferences. Although she caused the destruction within her life, she was welling to do anything to have her happy-ever-after. In beauty and the beast, the film teaches that that true love doesn’t discriminate on appearance, boundaries, and distance. The true message of this film is to never judge a book by its cover.

The story is set in three key places, in a garden, a railway crossing, and an iron works, which all have their individual gothic elements. The garden is portrayed as a dark, still place, with an atmospheric sky looming overhead, the railway crossing is where Raut experiences a near death incident, but oddly enough Horrocks saves him, then the final setting, the iron works, perhaps the most gothic of all. ‘As they came out of the labyrinth of clinker heaps and mounds of coal and ore, the noises of the rolling mill sprang upon them suddenly, loud, near and distinct.’…
